The compact washer was purchased along with the matching dryer. Seems like clothes get cleaner and certainly more water spins out vs. my old top loader. The clothes don't get tangled together, either. I am a bit concerned about the amount of water that stays in the seal around the inside of the washer door. I try to wipe it out after each wash but will always find another small puddle after finishing. I've been keeping the door slightly open to limit mold growth and will keep an eye on it. Otherwise, I love the way it works and looks!
